You're stuck if you're poor in Indiana

I recently saw the results of a study ranking states based on the how much they promote "upward mobility." Indiana was among the three worst in the country. So if you're poor and live in Indiana, move to another state or you will be stuck for life,

Florida tried the drug testing for folks applying for help. It cost the state millions and the number of folks who tested positive was virtually none. Spending millions of citizens dollars to make the bigots happy so as to get their votes. Happens a lot in red states.

Controlling what food can be purchased on food stamps is going too far. There are already restrictions such as on alcohol and tobacco. But to deny a child a cookie because he's poor. Or to essentially cut some folks out of enough food to eat because they do not have access to groceries in which to buy the "approved" items.

This is child abuse of the highest order.
